Floriculture in Zimbabwe took root in the 1970s, focusing on cultivating popular cut flowers like roses and carnations. The industry saw remarkable growth during the 1990s and 2000s, marked by significant exports, particularly to European markets. At its peak, Zimbabwe ranked second in flower exports in Africa, trailing only Kenya.
However, the industry faced setbacks in the late 2000s due to economic instability. Despite these difficulties, Zimbabwe’s flower sector has shown resilience, with farmers persevering to recover and rebuild.
Airflos’ flower exports from Zimbabwe, including Ammi, Asters, and Proteas to destinations like The Netherlands, Japan, and the UK, highlight the ongoing recovery of the flower industry. Today, there is a widespread sense of optimism within the industry that, through the determination and innovative spirit of local farmers, the industry will regain momentum in the export market, steadily rebuilding confidence and perhaps even surpassing previous figures over time.
